At 5:00 p.m. on Friday, I quickly gathered my things and ran to the 42nd St.-Times Square subway stop to catch the Queens-bound 7 train. After 45 minutes of traveling I reached the stop for Citi Field in Flushing. Nervous, I stepped off of the train and headed to the gate to get my media credentials. As the ballpark worker handed me my first and third base photo passes, I couldn't do anything but smile. After all, it's not every day that you recieve your first Major League Baseball credentials for Sports Illustrated.
The Mets were hosting the Kansas City Royals - my team away from home (I'll always be a Rangers fan first) - so I was pretty excited to catch them while they were in New York. Shooting the match-up was dream come true. It was better than Christmas, Thanksgiving and my birthday all rolled into one.
Four days later, I was given the opportunity to shoot the Mets again as Matt Harvey took the mound against the Colorado Rockies. Since my first game, I had recieved a lot of feedback and was excited to see what I could improve upon from my first game.
Here are my favorite shots from the two games. Enjoy!
